Eligibility for the Hall of Fame requires first-team All-America recognition, at least 10 years since final season, completion of a professional career, and consideration of citizenship and academic honors.

Additional eligibility criteria reinforce that candidates must have been first-team All-America, be a decade removed from play, and have completed pro football, with citizenship and academics weighing in.

Warrick played at Florida State from 1996 to 1999 (redshirted in 1995), earned two consensus All-American honors, and left with school and ACC records including 32 receiving touchdowns and 3,517 receiving yards.

He helped lead Florida State to a 45-4 record and the 1999 national championship, earning Sugar Bowl MVP honors with 163 receiving yards, two TDs, and a 59-yard punt return.

The Hall of Fame class includes several coaches such as Jim Margraff, Gary Patterson, Chris Petersen, and Ken Sparks, each noted for their career records.

Peter Warrick has been named to the College Football Hall of Fame class of 2026, with induction ceremony planned for December in Las Vegas and recognition at a 2026 FSU game.

In brief, the Hall of Fame looks for premier on-field achievement, a long post-college timeline, and worthy off-field credentials.

Warrick earns a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame, joining fellow Florida State alumni and legendary figures such as Bobby Bowden (inducted 2006) and Warrick Dunn (2024) among other notable FSUpers.

FSU’s Warrick is the 12th Florida State inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame, highlighting his enduring impact on the program.

FSU retired Warrick’s jersey in 2018, and he previously entered the FSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010, with earlier honors including a spot on the ACC’s 50th Anniversary Team in 2002.

The 1999 Florida State team finished the season as the No. 1 team from start to finish, a unique feat in college football history.

Warrick’s career totals position him high on FSUs and ACC lists, with 3,517 receiving yards (then ACC record), 207 receptions (second in FSU history), and 15 100-yard receiving games.
